Palin's 'death panel' and now Beck's Nazi poster.

Why are "living wills" considered to be "death panels"?
Does Palin really believe that there really are Obama "death panels"; or is she trying to fool her constituents?

Seinfeld had an episode where Kramer had a living will. I don't recall Ben Stein trying to kill Kramer. The tennis ball machine nearly killed him.
If you are in a coma, your living will speaks for you.

I didn't think it would be possible to top Palin's "death panels", but I stand corrected.

Glenn Beck Chokes Up Talking About Special Needs Daughter (VIDEO)
Huffington Post | Danny Shea

Glenn Beck choked up on his Fox News program Tuesday afternoon while speaking about his daughter, who was born with cerebral palsy (h/t TVNewser).

He spoke about her in a discussion on Nazi eugenics, and showed a poster from that era that called to mind his daughter's condition.

"I want to show you a poster that I saw this morning getting ready for the show," Beck said, "and I want you to know that I have a daughter who was born with cerebral palsy. And when she was born, they said she would never walk or talk or feed herself. She went to college, they were wrong. This poster bothers me so much because the hand of the person shown in this poster reminds me of my daughter's hand."

The poster, from Nazi German, shows a picture of a man with what Beck called a "gnarled hand," and ays in German, according to Beck, something like, "It's going to cost 60,000 marks to keep this man alive...he's a sweet guy and everything, but his quality of life. It's a shame, but your time is up."

Your shill-ness is very evident.

"Your shill-ness is very evident."

I'm upset that many in my country don't believe in evolution.
I'm upset that half of the Republicans don't believe that Obama is American.
I'm upset that 12% of NC Republicans think that Hawaii is a foreign country.
I'm upset that 34% of Americans think that Saddam had WMDs.
I'm flat out disgusted about Faux news.

If that makes me a shill, then I will have to agree with you.

Beck said that Hitler took Eugenics from the US. That is true; I wish it wasn't, but it is.

Beck said that Hitler eliminated 6 million Jews. True. 6 million innocent lives snuffed out by a diminutive Austrian with a meth problem. Actually the number is 11 million innocent lives snuffed out. Nobody likes to talk about the non-Jews; somehow they don't count.

I have a problem with every GOP moonbats claiming that "death panels", "death tribunals", "death counselors" and other insanities are going to kill granny and have mandatory abortions.

When Beck or anyone insinuates that Obama is planning on Eugenics or anything of the sort, I get upset.

If some pundit lies daily or makes mistakes daily, then that shows their true character.

If you think I'm lying about Beck, you should post how I'm wrong.

BTW
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/shill

1. To act as a shill for (a deceitful enterprise).
2. To lure (a person) into a swindle.

I'm not trying to deceive anyone. I don't like liars and I don't like Beck.
I'm not trying to swindle anyone.

But I will accept your label of a shill. I don't know how I could be shilling though, since I don't have a secret agenda.

I don't like Beck either.

But many of his premises about our current White House's political tactics are truthful.

As you state:

"But I will accept your label of a shill."

Yea, KungFu really hates Beck for some reason. KungFu, Beck couldn't give a rats ass about your opinions, and I also don't care. Seriously, what does Evolution have to do with politics. I'm more pissed off at the whole Athiest agenda trying to mark Christians as nutcases. Piss off KungFu, go get a job you liberal idiot.

He/she seems to be better at 'Cut and Paste' than 'Thinking Individually'.

Every talk host hyperbolates.

Beck is often painful to watch (as his delivery is sophomoric at best), but most all of his points are valid and well documented.

hitking, you have KungFu marked. Very good observation, KungFu really doesn't look like the kind of person that thinks for himself. He probably obeys whatever Olbermann, or those Athiests on YouTube spew out daily. I hate people that are so far into their own ideology that they just become a burden and start to piss people off. He's like the liberal Ann Coulter lol.
